Well … As a follow to The Sims 3 - Part 1 post and The Sims 3 - Part 1 Scrns here comes The Sims 3 - Part 2 post. Here I will be talking about the building mode available in the Sims 3 and various events which I’ve found out while playing the game. Currently I ain’t playing the game much sadly as I’m still in exam times and very busy, So as I go on and play it more I will be able to add more posts to things about the Sims 3 game play.
The developers of The Sims 3 have really changed a lot of the game play and building mode, Now the building mode is simpler than The Sims 3 and you can nearly do anything you want. You just imagine the building and you can simply build it! You can build a whole tower or just a small house for the family, its your choice. You can simply build swimming pools, different levels, custom roofs, chimneys, level up basements, custom stairs and much much more. You can now simply change the terrain into many other stuff like dead grass, weed, dark dirt, light dirt, fallen leaves, stones, tracks and very exciting things. You have a very big selection of trees, flowers, bushes and stones too, You can simply build a whole forest easily without repeating the trees over and over again and the shadows they provide are amazing too. Sadly though something they’ve changed in the Sims 3 is that you are unable anymore to water your flowers or trees or bushes etc. I think they’ve made it that way because you already have a garden which can get pretty big and hard to handle actually, If you build a full garden in the backyard of your house and only have one Sim to look after it. The Sim will be taking the whole full day watering, weeding and fertilizing the garden making the Sim’s Hygiene down to the bottom , The Sim’s Bladder and the Hunger level too way faster than they should go down normally. You have a wide selection of gardening seeds to grow in your garden, from apples, tomatoes, onions, garlic, water melons, potatoes and much more helping in the preparations of meals and making their moods higher and better. Also if you are a good gardener you will be offered many opportunities to deliver vegtables or fruits to restaurants or separate people and take money for it.
You sims now can choose their carrer and what type of jobs they can get, There’s those in criminals, police department, science, business, food and much more. Growing up from high school into one of those careers, even though I thought they’ll be adding university after high school just like real life but I think that they’ll be getting out many expansion packs just like they did with the Sims 2. You can now visit lots easily by just taking a cab or your own car which you’ve bought off the Buy mode. Birthday parties now have changed and parties in general, You can now choose a party code like for example casual wear or formal and the start time for the party and whether its a birthday party or normal house party. Also you are now able to invite a large number of guests going up to 15 I think and all of them actually come to the party and not like the Sims 2 you can only invite around 5 and only 2 show up. Also Sims now have wishes which they’d like to become true which helps in having their life time happinesses increase and then making you able to buy them stuff such as speed counter, restaurant discounts, fast cleaning etc. Making the game more exiting to achieve those goals, for example 2 falling in love, the Male Sim would want to hug his love or kiss her for example and that if you achieved it will be leading to around 200 ~ 500 life time happiness points.
As a conclusion I think that they’ve done a big change in the the game and made it more realistic and close to life, Of course there’s limits to the reality in the game like cooking for example they don’t go and get the dishes of the shelves etc.
I think that this game deserves to be bought if you liked the previous Sims. The game is pretty good and interesting, Out of a range of 10 I give this game 8 out of 10.
I guess this is for the Sims 3 review at Tinko Labs, I will be adding more if I found anything interesting about the game which I’ve found out in the future.
